5 years agoJoe Gibbs Racing's Erik Jones will start from the 23rd position in Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Jones and the No. 20 team have had a roller-coaster of a year, scoring multiple top-fives, but also suffering a ton of bad fortune. Jones currently sits outside of the Cup Series playoffs and is on the hot seat, in his contract year with JGR. Luckily for Jones, Texas has been a very good track for him. In Jones' last five starts at the track, he has five straight top-10 finishes, including a run of three straight fourth-place finishes. In his career, Jones has only led more laps at Bristol and Darlington. Where Jones is starting, his DFS cost is relatively cheap. Add his upside in position differential, and Jones becomes a must-start driver in DFS lineups.--John Pitucci - RotoBaller

1 week agoErik Jones will likely be a very popular DFS pick at Darlington on Sunday afternoon. Despite posting the third-fastest lap in practice on Saturday, Jones wasn't able to follow that up with a good lap in qualifying and will start from way back in 34th-place when the Goodyear 400 goes green. That gives daily fantasy players massive Place Differential upside by picking Erik Jones ($7,500) at one of his best race tracks on the schedule. Jones is a two-time Darlington winner and has finished 25th or better in all six Next Gen races here since the start of the 2022 season. Even though Legacy Motor Club has struggled this year, Jones has been serviceable for DFS players, including grabbing a 15th-place finish at Homestead a couple of weeks ago after starting back in 28th (+13 Place Differential points). --Jordan McAbee

2 weeks agoErik Jones has never been very successful at Martinsville, and Sunday might have been one of the lowest moments of his career. Not only did he start 31st and finish 24th in a race where his former crew chief Chris Gayle won his first race for Denny Hamlin -- a driver he was ordered not to pass in the 2020 fall event -- but he was disqualified for violating NASCAR's minimum weight rule, even though he didn't seem to gain any speed from it and he was much slower than the other Toyotas were. It's especially painful to get nabbed for a technical infraction without being fast to begin with. The disqualification dropped him to 38th. Although Jones picked up some stage points on strategy at the end of Stage 1, he was also stripped of those, which dropped him from 24th to 29th in points. Unless he wins a drafting-track race, his playoff hopes are likely over.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

2 weeks agoErik Jones has never been particularly good at Martinsville, as he has never led a lap and has only earned one top-10 finish in the 2021 fall race. Even in his years with Furniture Row Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing, his best finish was a mere 12th twice, and the only thing anyone remembers about him at Martinsville was when he was ordered not to pass Denny Hamlin in 2020 as a lame-duck JGR driver. Now he is with Legacy Motor Club, a Toyota team that has far less speed on short tracks than JGR did, so it's hard to imagine him contending here, especially since his 31st-place starting position is actually the worst of his career here. He was also far off his teammate John Hunter Nemechek, who hasn't been great here, either. This looks like it will be another slow race for Legacy in general, and Jones probably won't gain enough positions for DFS consideration.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller

3 weeks agoErik Jones of Legacy Motor Club will start 28th for this week's race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the Straight Talk Wireless 400. This starting position will be tied for the lowest of his Cup career at Homestead, along with his October 2024 appearance at the Miami track. In eight Homestead races, Jones has two top-20 finishes and obtained positive Place Differential three times, including his last two Cup events at the site. Through five races so far in 2025, Jones has had two top-20 finishes and only collected positive PD once. In practice for this week's race, Jones ranked eighth in overall lap averages while displaying top-20 speeds in the five through 15 consecutive lap average categories. The starting position for Jones provides plenty of potential upside and for his cheap salary ($6,100 on DraftKings), he is worth consideration as a driver who will compete for a top-20 finish.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
